The five-week trek will start on April 15 in Coral Gables, Florida, and wind its way through the Northeast and Midwest before finishing on May 20 in Calgary, Alberta. Goth-punks My Chemical Romance will provide support for the duration of the tour (see "Green Day Taking My Chemical Romance On Tour This Spring").

Though tickets for the tour officially go on sale February 18, eager fans can get a head start buying tickets through the band's long-time merchandiser, Cinder Block Ticketing, on Friday. More details will be announced in the coming days on Green Day's Web site.

Unlike the recent U2 presale snafu — in which many fans who paid $40 to join the fan club to get advance tickets, and were left in the cold when presale tickets sold out — the Green Day presale is open to all fans.
